Matches for "Mario Rivest"

In the eyes of handicappers, Casimir Longshot is predicted to live up to his name in this Saturday's (July 23) Grassroots contest at Sudbury Downs, but his harness racing trainer-driver Mario Rivest is hoping the three-year-old pacing gelding proves them wrong.

Sudbury harness racing trainer and driver Mario Rivest has never been to New Zealand but he sure has got a soft spot for the country nicknamed 'The Land of the Long White Cloud'. Not because only because he thinks the country is beautiful - but because of the 29 miners who lost their lives in Pike River Coal Mine tragedy near Greymouth on New Zealand's West Coast last November.
